The First Tasmanians: Our Story - QVMAG
A major new exhibition, The First Tasmanians: Our Story is opening at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery tomorrow. The exhibition at the Art Gallery at Royal Park has been developed to present the ancient and continuing story of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture and offers one of the most complete accounts of Tasmania's deep human history ever collated. Here's a sneak peek...
Queens Domain, Hobart
The area called the Queens Domain takes up most of this hill in the centre of the city, including the Botanical Gardens, Government House and the bush land up to the 'look-out' at the top. Recognised as being reserved for the people since the early days of the settlement, and frequently under threat from development, Parliament formally recognised its value as a public space in 1858.
This video was researched written and prepared by TMAG volunteer Sally Rackham and narrated by Noreen Le Mottee.

All finalists in the Secondary Schools section will each receive $200 and primary school finalists will receive photographic equipment.
Mr Mark Moran, Chief Executive Officer of the Moran Arts Foundation congratulated the prize winners and said that 2012 marks a quarter of a century of excellence for the Moran Prizes. Since beginning in 1988, the Moran Prizes have grown in strength and depth shown by the increasing number of entries and the world wide access to the visual arts. It is opportune that for the first time we are hosting our 2012 winners in the exhibition space near Circular Quay and opposite the ASX, creating even greater ease of access to the prize, Mark Moran said.
Our student workshops are not just for those that are 'good at art' or 'school' but can be inspiring in particular for those disengaged with the system with some participants for example having recently been in detention centres. Workshops take place both in urban and remote areas. In the past twelve months we have also had over 900 indigenous Australians participate in the photographic workshops, Mr Moran said. In keeping with this egalitarian policy, a defining point of the Moran Prizes is to let the artists and photographers choose who they paint or photograph. In a world focussed on celebrity, the Moran Prizes are about the greatness in every Australian, Mark Moran said.
The Moran Prizes has developed a website that reflects the rapid growth in technology providing a multi-media point of access for the finalists' works. This helps connect peoples talents and perspectives across multiple platforms bringing us into a global art community.
The MORAN PRIZES is a free exhibition located at 13-15 Bridge Street, Sydney commencing July 25, 2012 for 12 weeks to October 9.
A further AUD$50,000 is awarded to Highly Commended place-getters, to the winners and finalists in the Secondary School Sections and to provide prizes of photographic equipment for Primary School finalists.

Melbourne - Australia, Part 4
Melbourne (Source: Wikipedia)
Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia. The name Melbourne refers to an urban agglomeration area (and census statistical division) spanning 9,900.5 km2 that comprises the greater metropolis -- as well as being a common name for its metropolitan hub, the Melbourne City Centre. It is a leading financial centre in Australia and the Asia-Pacific, and has been ranked as the World's most livable city since 2011 -- according the Economist Intelligence Unit (and in the top three since 2009).
Melbourne is located on the large natural bay of Port Phillip, with its City Centre situated at the northernmost point of the bay -- near the estuary of the Yarra River. The metropolitan area extends south from the City Centre, along the eastern and western shorelines of Port Phillip, and expands into the hinterlands. The City Centre is located in the municipality known as the City of Melbourne, and the greater metropolis consists of a further 30 municipalities. Melbourne has a population of 4.25 million, and the fastest growing population among Australian capital cities. Inhabitants of Melbourne are called Melburnians.
Founded on 30 August 1835, by settlers from Launceston in Van Diemen's Land (in what was then the Colony of New South Wales), it was declared a Crown settlement in 1837. The settlement was named Melbourne by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Richard Bourke, to honour the British Prime Minister of the day William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne. It was declared a city by Queen Victoria in 1847, and became the capital city of the newly created Colony of Victoria in 1851. During the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, it was transformed into one of the World's largest and wealthiest cities. After the federation of Australia in 1901, Melbourne served as interim seat of government for the newly created nation of Australia until 1927.
A major centre for Australian performing and visual arts, Melbourne is often referred to as Australia's cultural capital. It is the birthplace of Australian dance styles; the Melbourne Shuffle and New Vogue, the Australian film industry (including the world's first feature film), Australian impressionist art (known as the Heidelberg School), Australian rules football, and the Australian television industry. More recently, it has been recognized as a UNESCO City of Literature and an international centre for street art. It is home to many of Australia's largest and oldest cultural institutions such as the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne Museum, Melbourne Zoo, the National Gallery of Victoria and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building.
The main passenger airport serving the metropolis is Melbourne Airport, which is the second busiest in Australia, and the Port of Melbourne is Australia's busiest seaport for containerised and general cargo. The main metropolitan train terminus is Flinders Street Station, and the main regional train and coach terminus is Southern Cross Station. Melbourne is also home to the world's largest tram network.

TASMANIA: JAPANESE GARDENS with WATERFALLS and RED BRIDGE, the ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS in HOBART ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to the island state of Tasmania in Australia and let's visit the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are located in the city of Hobart and which are a short drive or walk from the City centre. In 2018, the Gardens celebrated its bicentenary (200 years!!) and is the second oldest botanic garden in Australia.
The gardens were established in 1818 and is the second oldest Botanical Gardens in Australia – the Sydney Botanic gardens were founded two years earlier. Living collections include the peaceful Japanese Garden (the subject of this video) and the stunning Conservatory. Here, we can breathe in the perfume of the traditional herb garden, see rare plants from Macquarie Island in the Subantarctic Plant House and stroll along historic Arthur Wall, designed to be internally heated to grow exotic plants in Tasmania's cool climate.
Tasmania, an isolated island state off Australia’s south coast, is known for its vast, rugged wilderness areas, largely protected within parks and reserves. On the Tasman Peninsula, the 19th-century Port Arthur penal settlement is now an open-air museum. In Hobart, the port capital, Salamanca Place's Georgian warehouses now house galleries and boutiques. Its Museum of Old and New Art has a contemporary edge.
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the largest country in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country by total area.
